but marco rubio being anti-gay, marco rubio having anti-gay policy positions is not a surprise. he's never taken a pro gay rights position on anything really. and it was just yesterday that he said he would blow up the whole immigration reform issue. he would blow up this whole thing that he has been working on, that he staked his whole political future on, he will kill the whole idea of immigration reform if immigration reform applies to gay people, too. >> this bill has in it something that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. i'm gone. i'm off it and i've said that repeatedly. and i don't think that's going to happen and it shouldn't happen. >> i'm gone. i'm off it. that shouldn't happen. so marco rubio, the supposed future of the republican party, says there should be no immigration reform if it also would apply to gay people. and he says it should be legal in this country for your boss to fire you because he found out you're gay or because he's decided he thinks that you're gay. maybe nothing should be surprising about social conservative po

ride marco rubio's coattails to some kind of compromise. the problem is the first thing marco rubio said once he put out his bill is you know what? it's not strong enough on the border. i got to make it stronger on the border and lindsey graham is going don't say that. you were my protection. now what. so lindsey graham has got to come out for tougher border enforcement. and i think that the republicans have a very tough time squaring the internal politics of the tea party in 2014 and their national political landscape in 2016. and lindsey graham is the perfect example of it. >> let's let the people talk on this. let's hear senator graham, one of the architects of the gang of eight, the real effort to try to get immigration reform. he delivered a dire warning to republicans looking to block the program. this is really serious politics here. >> if we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016. we're in a demographic death spiral as a party and the only

back at home, marco rubio says the senate's immigration reform bill is almost ready. where does the house stand? seems a bit confusing. we'll get the reality check from a big player on this issue. good morning from ireland here. i'm just across the border from where the g-summit itself is going. my man peter alexander is going to be holding down the fort in d.c. let me get right to my first reads of the morning before passing the baton. president obama's a bit knee deep in g-8 summit politics. he's participating in meetings to the run-up between all eight leaders later today. he's finishing up with prime minister david cam ran. i'll get to more on that. before getting started on all of that tricky diplomacy of this trip, the president, accompanied by the entire first family, began the day in belfast. first up was a speech to a mostly younger audience there. a city which of course has been ripped apart by sectarian conflict, but it's thriving under the good friday peace agreement brokered by the u.s. 15 years ago. >> you set an example for those who seek a peace of the
